What is a reasonable fuel milage to expect out of a 3.0 in a 94 extra cab p'up? My dd is at the paint shop so I took a trip in my p'up today and it gets 14mpg. It is an auto with 4.56 gears and 31" tires( I know why they had to put 4.88's in the factory trucks that came with 31's. It is a do My 78 F150 got 17.5 mpg on the highway 30 years ago with a 351 & a C6. MY 85 4Runner with a 22re & a 5spd would of pulled 20-21 mpg same for my 97 $Runner with a 3.4 & 5 spd. Is it the auto trans that sucks up the differance or is the 3.0 really that bad? I looked for a truck with a 22re & 5spd for 6 months before I bought this one. It is probably slower than my 85 4runner on 33's with the same gears.

Checked the milage on my 3.4 5spd, 4Runner last night 20MPG basically stop & go driving to & from work. Mostly go unless I get on 696 in the evening. It gets 20 @ 70 on the freeway as well. I'm not sure why but my 4Runners have always gotten better milage than my Yota P'ups even with the same drivtrain.

My 3.4/auto Tacoma gets @ 20 on the highway if I keep it around 70. Anything more and the mileage goes downhill fast. Around town I would say @ 17-18. I am running "33 though (285/75/16s). I would love to get the 25-26 my old XtraCab 22RE/5spd got.
